Maybe some you will have some extra time to craft during your holidays!

Today i would like to share this simple card with you using Chilly Bunny

As you can see i added some stripes to this scarf. You can pencil off some lines and add your coloring. I like to cut out my images and this image comes with some snowflakes in the background. i just cut them out as circles or you can hand punch them.

Hello! Rae Ann here with your dose of Friday Fun inspiration! Can you believe it is the Friday before Christmas?! I hope you have your shopping and wrapping done and can put your feet up and enjoy a glass of egg nog (or whatever drink brings you the most joy). And with Christmas right around the corner, you know what that means! Soon it will be New Year's Day and we will suffer through several weeks of writing the wrong year on everything. =P Before that happens, Frosty Stars and I are here to wish you a Happy New Year.

I colored Frosty Stars with Copic markers and used a technique I recently learned to make his hat band, buttons and stars look like gold glitter or sequins. A little embossing for some texture, some ribbon and trim (the black trim below the ribbon doesn't really show at all in the picture), and a simple stamped sentiment and this card was done!

This month's challenge is white on white! Why not put a project together and play along? Just remember to use a Sami Stamps image to be eligible for prizes.

I hope you have a joyous holiday season full of the very best life has to offer. Until next time!

Hi everyone! It is good to be back! I want to give a big thank you for our DT leader Grandma Bonnie and the rest of the design team for stepping it up and helping me out while I was away. I had a little special someone to welcome into my family and have been a little busy. =) I would like to ask everyone to please have patience with me over the next few months while I am trying to figure out how to balance my normal life along with my sweet baby girl.

Hey hey!!
Welcome back to another Fun Friday here at Sami Stamps!!
I have an adorable little shaker card for you today!

For my card I've used the Feather Nap image. I love this sweet little kitty! Of course she had to be colored up like my little Cloud baby with a big fluffly tail!

I used a sun ray stencil and added some Fossilized Amber through the stencil, then spritzed it lightly with some shimmer mist so it has a nice sparkle. It was only after I had completed the card that I realized I did the rays in the wrong order...but oh well :) I still like how it all turned out!

Once the rays were dry, I cut an oval from the center to be the window for my shaker card. I cut some green cardstock to be my hill and adhered everything down, adding a fun golden sequin mix to the shaker.

I black heat embossed my sentiment on to a strip of vellum and wrapped it around my card and that was it!!

Thank so much for stopping by! You have just a few more days to enter our Sentiments challenge so don't miss out!!

Hello! Rae Ann here for your dose of Friday Fun! October brings cooler weather finally to my neck of the woods. I am loving the cool temperatures and lower humidity! The cool temperatures and our current challenge to add brown or kraft paper to your project has me really feeling autumn!

I used one of the new releases, Jack O'Lantern Mane, for this project. I found this awesome digital paper in my stash and thought it fit the challenge and the image perfectly. A few pretty embellishments and it was done!

You can pop over to the challenge and play along for a chance to win Sami Stamps prizes. Just make sure to use a Sami Stamps image to be eligible.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another Fun Friday!
Today I'm sharing an awesome card featuring one of our newest Spooky Unicorns!

I love this Mushrooms and Bats image and how you could take it in either the spooky route or the soft and gentle route. I tried to do a little cross of both by putting the card into a dark scene with the large super moon coming up behind her, but also giving her a playfully colored mane and some shimmer.

For this card, I used my Prismacolor pencils. With so much coloring and dimension, I find pencils are best for me since I have a lot more control over where the color goes. And I can use a blending solution to smooth everything out once I'm done if I wish.

Once everything was colored, I layered the whole panel onto a black piece cut to the same size, but shifted them so they criss-cross. Then layered these panels onto a Kraft mat that I added some brown colored embossing paste through a dot stencil onto.

The sentiment was white heat embossed right onto my unicorn panel and that finished the card!

What medium do you like to use? (Markers, Pencils, etc)
My favorite medium is Copic markers, but i also love to watercolor.Where do you craft/make your cards/projects?
I am very lucky...I use one of our guest rooms. My husband installed a counter-top, cabinets and shelving! I love it! :)Who do you create/design cards for?
I make cards for my family, friends and I also donate to my local Ronald McDonald House.

Do you use metal dies or svgs?
All metal dies.

What do you enjoy most about cardmaking?
Everything!!! Coloring, the designs & layouts, choosing the paper & embellishments and most of all i find it very therapeutic.

Where do you buy most of your cardmaking supplies?

Locally- I buy my supplies at Hobby Lobby, Michaels and JoAnns. and on-line I use Simon Says Stamps and Amazon

What is your favorite Sami Stamps image?

I
think all of the stamps are so cute but if I have to pick a favorite it
would be any image that features a girl/woman such as 'Blossoms Girl' or
'Holding flowers in my hat'.
